(short version)
Would someone who has sidux installed on virtual machine take snapshots
of typical screens of smxi asking/waiting users input?
(long version)
There is private remastering of sidux in Japanese, which is wide spread
in Japan, which support Japanese interface from the booting.
This Japanese "sidux" liveCD is mainly used by Japanese users,
especially those who are not very good at reading all-English interfaces.
One sad fact about this remastering is, probably from "kindness" but
with a little misunderstanding about sidux, that it comes with synaptic
on KDE for package management. Many users are so using it for upgrading
packages from sid.
(one user claims he could update this way from sidux 2007-01 to this
day without major problem... -- lucky person, he is.)
Now I'm telling them the proper way to dist-update sidux, also introducing
smxi, but I see the problem. -- if they are not good at reading English,
then using smxi itself is difficult for them.
For the dynamic nature of smxi script which modified and updated in daily
bases, I don't think I can realistically translate the script itself.
(nor I don't know preoper setting to show non-latin characters on textmode
screen. maybe it is not difficult with locale setting, but I havn't try...)
So, as for introduction and instruction, I'd like to write a kind of wiki,
'what is smxi and how to update sidux with smxi' for Japanese users.
For this reason, if someone, with sidux on virtual machine can take
snapshot of each phase of typical smxi session, especially that of
prompting user for input, would be greatly appreciated.
Resolution does not need to be very high, just so much that letters are
readable. I'd show them in page, with either explanation or translation of
the text on screen, so that the users will know what each phase is about,
even if the content of screen differes day to day.
feedback, (esp. opinion from h2) is very appreciated. |

You can make your own screenshots ( and better yet, you know exactly what parts you want) using fbgrab
To get the screenshots of tty do
Code:
apt-get install fbgrab
run smxi in tty1 and login as root in tty2 and in the parts you want the screenshot, execute:
Code:
fbgrab -c 1 smxi_01.png
I guess it's better to do this in livemode, so you can get shots of the first time use of smxi, just remember to save the .png files somewhere else |
